  • Lifetime cover. The manufacturer’s terms apply, so please contact us to confirm what applies to this product

These cups from Steelite's Blue Dapple range within the Simplicity collection are designed for serving sugar or bouillon at the table or on a self-service counter. The white body carries a narrow blue border applied by sponging onto a rolled edge, giving a consistent decorative finish that holds up reliably across a large table set. Supplied in packs of twelve, they are a practical choice for operators looking to introduce a coordinated colour accent without committing to an entirely bespoke range.

Steelite manufactures these cups in alumina vitrified ceramic, which is well regarded in commercial catering for its resistance to the mechanical stresses of daily service — stacking, repeated handling, commercial dishwasher cycles, and the general pace of a busy pass. The rolled edge is a practical design choice in professional use, helping to resist chipping at the rim where most wear tends to occur in service. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects confidence in the durability of the construction.

In practical terms, the Blue Dapple cups suit a range of service styles:

  • Table service in restaurants and brasseries wanting a simple colour accent
  • Café and tearoom counters serving bouillon or hot beverages alongside a meal
  • Buffet and canteen self-service where a coordinated look is maintained cost-effectively
  • Banqueting and event catering where matching sets need to hold up across multiple covers

The Blue Dapple pattern is part of a wider coordinated range, so operators can match cups with plates, bowls, and other pieces from the same collection to create a consistent table presentation.

If you are building a full table set or are unsure how many pieces to order for your covers, the team are happy to talk through your requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Are these cups suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is the standard material for commercial catering crockery precisely because it withstands repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles without deteriorating. The sponge-applied Blue Dapple decoration is fired onto the piece, so it does not wash off or fade under normal commercial dishwashing conditions.

Can I mix these cups with other pieces from the Steelite Blue Dapple range?

Yes, the Blue Dapple pattern runs across a broader range of pieces within the Steelite Simplicity collection, including plates, bowls, and other cup sizes. This makes it straightforward to build a coordinated table set. If you are planning a full cover build, it is worth checking current stock availability across the range before placing a larger order.

How many packs would I need for a typical restaurant service?

As a general guide, most operators working at table service plan for at least one and a half to two times their cover count to allow for items in the wash during service. For a 40-cover restaurant, three to four packs of twelve would be a reasonable starting point, though this depends on your service style and dishwasher turnaround time.
